Questions & Answers

Is this cap made of galvanized steel or stainless steel?

I purchased a stainless steel and believe it to be the best value for money.

What type of building material is used? Is it better to go with stainless steel or galvanized steel?

Stainless Steel is a type of metal that is corrosion resistant

The height of the crown of my chimney is 36 inches. 5" x 21". Which dimensions would provide the most coverage while still allowing the cap to be screwed on?

Choose a unit that is slightly larger than the opening in the chimney. It has a piano hinge that can be screwed down on top of the crown from the outside.

What size cap should I buy if the outside dimensions of my chimney are 19" x 49"?

You should purchase a poster that is 19x49 inches or larger.

I was surprised by how well the installation went
5/5

I was surprised by how well the installation went. The unit's flexible mesh sides make it easier to secure it to a non-porous surface. a chimney cap made of cement. The Gelco appealed to me because the hinged anchor plates could be hidden inside the mesh sides. As a result, I was able to order a larger size, with the lid overhanging the entire chimney by 1-inch. 1/2 inch all the way around (The lid has a 2-inch overhang on the mesh sides. ) 1/2 of an inch ) I also required the 12 inch height because my flues were 7 inches higher than the cement cap. Gelco had exactly what I was looking for, and the quality was excellent. A few pointers for do-it-yourself installers. br>br> I followed the instructions to the letter with no problems. However, the drill bit/hammer drill jumped on start up several times on the cement cap, compromising my hole placement slightly, and I should have started the hole with a pointed chisel instead. If you're using tapcon anchors, I recommend putting a small amount of masonry caulk or adhesive from the chimney cap people into the tapcon holes after blowing out the dust.

It's a great product that's simple to set up
5/5

It's a fraction of the cost of hiring a roofing company to do the job. Spray painted black in a matter of minutes. It could be mounted on or outside of the chimney because of the 360 piano hinge. There are many different sizes to choose from. There's even a masonry bit and screws included.

I didn't care for the color, so I sprayed it black. The installation was simple, and it looks fantastic from above.

3/5

After seeing this product in person, I realized it would not work for me. I've been attempting to return it for more than two weeks and have yet to receive a response to any of my correspondence.

The price is excellent, but the packaging is substandard
3/5

The item was reasonably priced, but it took a long time to arrive and was bent when it did. The item was damaged as a result of poor packaging. I didn't have time to return, so I fixed it as best I could and put it back together.
